Rupert Murdoch shows his hand

Turning MySpace into a game site will be massive.
A half billion pound portal with 120 million unique users a month.
Makes Xbox Live look like a minnow.

 

Interestingly he already has casual gaming on the Sun website:

And thelondonpaper website: http://partner.zylom.com/thelondonpaper/en/

Interestingly these are not reskins of each other so Newscorp are obviously experimenting with different ways of doing it.

 

Apples and oranges. MySpace can't cater for consoles, so any expansion plans it may have don't effect the likes of Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo in any meaningful way.

Having done a bit of googling, it's all a big bag of reactionay meh by Newscorp to bolster a flagging (revenue wise) company.
